Hello applied ethology,
Would anybody know of an expert on canine gait? I would like to send a video of a dog that skips and ask where the problem might be.
I have a 20 months old border collie that skips with his hind leg(s)- mostly on one side. Pennhip x-rays showed no problem in the hips, manipulation of the knees under anesthetic revealed no instability in the knee joints, x-ray of the spine showed nothing. I would like ideas on where else to look for the problem. Structurally the feet seem normal (says a dog physiotherapist fresh out of school).
Thank you,
Sabine Goubau, PhD

Questions arising: at what gait does this occur? (walk, trot, canter, gallop, or ??) and under what circumstances? (walking on lead, while being presented in a show ring, running free, while working sheep, or ??). Is this a cosmetic problem, or also a functional one?
Intermittent lameness, often shifting from one limb to another, is a fairly common manifestation of certain tick-borne diseases, especially Lyme disease, but I take it that's not what's going on here?
Have you asked any of the veterinarians specializing in canine sports medicine? Names which come to my mind immediately are Rob Gillette at Auburn University, and Chris Zink. Google will find either of them, I should think.
